Language, the Singer and the Song
Watts, Richard J. (Universitat Bern, Switzerland) / Morrissey, Franz Andres (Universitat Bern, Switzerland)
Language and music have much in common, such as rhythm, structure, sound and metaphor. Drawing on ideas from linguistics, performance studies and musicology, this monograph proposes a sociolinguistic model for analysing song and performance. It addresses a readership of sociolinguists and scholars and students in musicology and performance studies.
